Machinal: Issues are still relevant
n Continued from Page 7
constraints that these institu
tions can place upon people.
"I hope they get out of it the
recognition that people — and
women in particular — are
caught up in a web of social in
stitutions that can confine them
and can squelch their whole
identity,” she said.
Although the play debuted in
1928, and although feminism
has made some strides since
then, Aronson said “Machinal”
is still relevant today.
“We’re fueled by a liberation
marketing idea. All we have to
do is ‘just do it,’” she said. “The
human potential movement
tells us to think positive and vi
sualize our beautiful future. But
it’s not always easy when we’re
so limited by identity and eco
nomics.”
To illustrate the play’s time
lessness, Aronson has set it in a
contemporary but non-identifi
able society. “It’s not the 90s,”
she said. “And it’s not the 50s.
We've created our own world.”
“Machinal" features a cold,
mechanical-looking set that por
trays the institutional machinery
upon which the main character’s
happiness is ground. The set
was designed by guest designer
Curt Enderle from Portland Cen
ter Stage.
The cast includes senior Ursu
la Aller as the Young Woman,
freshman Alexander Pawlowski
as the Husband, junior Ryan
Honey as the Lover and sopho
more Colleen Wroblewski as the
Mother.
The play will continue April
11, 16, 17, 18, 24 and 25. All
performances will begin at 8
p.m.
